Rome was founded in 753 B.C. By 275 B.C., it controlled most of the Italian Peninsula. In the A.D. 100’s, the Roman Empire covered about half of Europe, much of the Middle East, and the northern coast of Africa. The empire then began to crumble, party because it was too big for Rome to govern.

The United States has adopted parts of Ancient Roman culture into modern day life. Over time Rome became the superpower of the Mediterranean controlling a vast amount of city-states. Power from trade, innovative minds, a powerful military, and influence from other cultures combined to make Rome one of the most powerful regions of the time period. The United States has taken some aspects of Rome’s culture and has incorporated it into society making both regions similar. Roman culture was like our own culture in the United States today because of the system of government, the use of sporting events to escape the affairs of daily life and the funeral inscriptions on grave markers.

From the aqueducts of the Roman Empire to the pestle and mortar of Han, China, technology played a big role in ancient civilizations. From the 2nd century BCE through the 1st century CE, both the Han and Roman empires were dealing with the advancements in technology, whether the people liked it or not. There were many different approaches between the two empires, but there were also differences in views within the empires themselves. In the Roman Empire, people believed that technology unnecessary, but not rational, while other people believed it as a way to show how great the Roman Empire was. In the Han dynasty, some believed that technology was a vital part of an empire and needs government interference, while others saw it as an unnecessary and costly burden.

There were a lot of reasons rome fell apart, In 117 CE,it was a huge empire that covered parts of three continence. These are some of the most important reasons Rome fell. One is how big rome was, another is that over the course of 50o years they had 19 emperors, and that Rome’s soldiers were not all from Rome.

Although many historians and professors attribute the fall of the Roman Empire to excess and corruption, the role of shifting spheres of power, trade created a situation that made the fall of such a large cumbersome empire inevitable, the military played a role for not obeying protocol as well and an excess of things were happening in the government that also led to the fall of the Roman Empire. Each mistake made by the Romans contributed to their fall of their empire since after time of accumulation of their mistakes, it becomes a tremendous problem. Though the Roman Empire still did have their climax in history before everything came crashing down.

Western Rome was first conquered by Odoacer who was a Germanic leader and he overthrew Romulus in 476 A.D. But the reason Odoacer was able to conquer Western Rome was because of the Decisions that the Emperor and Government made while ruling. One of the major reasons that Rome fell was because of overexpansion,which made the Empire harder to govern so Diocletian thought it would be a great idea to split the Empire into Two halves which were Western Rome and Byzantine but while it was good during the beginning the two Empires started arguing over military aid and resources but while this was happening the Byzantine Empire started to grow and become rich while the Western Roman Empire were becoming poor and the Byzantine Empire did not share the

How can a civilization that has been so powerful for a thousand years suddenly decline? This civilization was Rome. Rome was a Republic for five hundred years, and a Empire for five hundred years. During this time Rome did amazing achievements that we still use to this day. The Romans made buildings out of concrete, Olympics, drama plays, an arch , an a collision which we call a studium, their Empire expanded as far east as India.

In the beginning of the Roman Empire, the economy was booming and Pax Romana came and went. Rome began in 750 BC, and soon bringing power with it. The leaders in Rome changed from being a republic to being more military control. Their attitude on how to improve Rome was very military based and with great rulers to lead them. However, when Rome was coming to its end it was hard to control the Roman people and they were invaded by the Germanic tribes, but this rooted from a series of problems. Leaving the Roman empire to fall because of their military problems, political assassinations, and foreign invasions.

I think rome had a better system because they try to make more friends than enemies. By giving them more right and they. Athens made more enemies than friends. In doc c phargh 2 it says “ The Athens were more stingy with their citizenship but the Romans were more freely gave there’s away”. This makes Rome better because they have more people so that means that the Rome has more fighter and rich people.

During the period of time between 600BCE-600CE, sometimes known as the Classical Era, empires were gradually forming in different regions of the world. Effective militaries, politics, and organization sparked the rise of these great civilizations. In the Chinese region, Han China gained superiority, in India the Mauryan and Gupta, in the Middle East Persia, and finally in the Mediterranean Rome. Overall, Rome was a successful civilization because of its imposing military, crucial organization, and social progress. However, Rome did have its shortcomings in the form of leadership. These attributes contribute to Rome’s successful place in history.

Many centuries before the birth of Christ, the city of Rome grew, prospered, and developed into a thriving Republic. As in most cultures, Rome's buildings became more elaborate and impressive. They developed fantastic building technologies and ideas. The feats of Roman engineers were groundbreaking, and many structures built by this culture still stand today. With knowledge borrowed from the Greeks, Rome made impressive architectural achievements, these were namely major attributes of buildings, colossal structures, and a legacy that would influence later buildings (Cornell and Matthews 11).

     The design and structure of a city is as important as the people who dwell within her walls. The placement of streets and the structures built there are carefully plotted for optimal use. Foot and cart traffic, fire hazard, and access to water were all key factors in city planning. Eventually the Romans had fine tuned their design principals in such an advantageous way that they molded all of their city states similarly.

In this essay, I will be discussing the origins and relevancy of Rome’s conquest of Italy during the Middle Republic. Included will be Rome’s governing structure of it’s allied states, and the treaties, both of which aided in the long term success of Rome.

When one thinks of Roman architecture, many things come to mind, such as arches, columns, statues, and richly covered surfaces in marbles. One must stop to think that this empire, which gained power and influence in the first century BC, must have been influenced from the thousands of years of cultures preceding them in order to create their masterpieces of ingenuity. This phenomenon can be seen in our borrowing of ideas of ancient Greece and Rome for the construction of our capitol buildings in the United States. The Romans surely considered design principles of other cultures when developing their buildings, since daily conquests of new lands opened Roman soldiers’ eyes to innovations from the great vastness of their empire. This

Ancient Rome, the period between the 8th and 1st centuries B.C. in which Rome grew from a little colony to an emerging empire. "Roman imperialism introduced extremes of wealth and poverty that honed social and economic conflict within the Roman state ." The enormous army and their countless loots, as well as their captured slaves, produced many changes along the countryside such as small farms becoming large plantations, and peasants left without lands decided to journey to Rome and other cities. "Immense wealth inflamed the ambitions of Roman nobles who struggled for personal domination rather than collective rule ." This dominant emergence of power and rule thus led to the conquering and control of other societies. The
